Reaction calorimetry is an efficient tool used to obtain kinetic, thermodn., and safety data. A new tool, composed of a high-pressure reactor (HP350) coupled with a Mettler-Toledo RC1e reaction calorimeter, is developed for the investigation of chem. react ...
A comprehensive review. The kinetics of various types of chem. reactions and the influence of transport processes on the effective reaction velocity (macrokinetics) are described. A survey is given on methods to det. the kinetics of reactions. Criteria for ...
This paper considers the minimization of batch time for an industrial inverse-emulsion polymerization reactor in the presence of uncertainty. A first optimization study resulted in the current industrial practice of a semi-adiabatic profile (isothermal ope ...
In batch chemical processing, dynamic optimization is the method of choice to reduce production costs while satisfying safety constraints and product specifications. Most of the standard optimization techniques are based on a model of the process, while it ...
Experiments using a lens-shaped circular electrode are described to measure the correction of plasma nonuniformity due to the standing wave effect in a large area very high frequency plasma reactor. This work is the experimental verification of the theoret ...
The content of this report is property of HTceramix and subject to restrictive distribution The goal of the project "Oxygen membranes for the partial oxidation of natural gas" was the pre-industrial evaluation of the concept of an electroceramic reactor, c ...
Reaction calorimetry is an efficient tool used to obtain kinetic, thermodn. and safety data. A reaction calorimeter, RC1e-HP350, developed in collaboration with Mettler-Toledo GmbH, allows investigating chem. reactions under supercrit. conditions. The main ...
Theor. anal. of the reactor performance under unsteady-state conditions was carried out. The reactions are described by two kinetic models, which involve the participation in catalytic reaction of two types of active sites. The kinetic model I assumes the ...
Disinfection of some microorganisms is characterized by a lag-phase (a minimum required ozone exposure until disinfection occurs). This phenomenon is easy to model in laboratory batch reactors but not in continuous flow mixed reactors. This paper introduce ...
An integrated microreactor system for the direct dehydrogenation of methanol to water-free formaldehyde was developed. The endothermic reaction can be homogeneously catalyzed with evapd. sodium. At reaction temps. of up to 1100 K nearly complete conversion ...
